Extra Three: How to Confess to Your Boyfriend That You Are Very Rich (Part One)

This story takes place after Chen Chang’an and Jiang Baiqing got together, but before they made their relationship public.

Since they got together, Jiang Baiqing had been feeling anxious:

Because he had a secret he had been keeping from Chen Chang’an—he was actually a big President.

Since they got together, Chen Chang’an had also been feeling anxious:

Because he knew Jiang Baiqing was a big President, but he didn’t know how long he had to pretend to be with him.

For instance, several times, when the President of the collaborating company was right in front of him, Chen Chang’an had to pretend he knew nothing about the other party and show the most ignorant admiration.

After Jiang Baiqing had just finished giving someone resources, he casually asked, “What are you planning to do in the next quarter?”

“A TV drama produced by Qingbai, and a variety show produced by our company,” Chen Chang’an thought for a moment, “It will probably take two months, and for the remaining month, let’s go travel!”

“‘Qingbai Entertainment’?” Jiang Baiqing forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to curl up, “How come I’ve never heard of this company?”

It’s your own company, and you’re asking “How come I’ve never heard of it?” You just want to hear my opinion, don’t you?! Chen Chang’an had long seen through the movie emperor’s roundabout ways.

But what could he do? Who told him that this contradictory guy was his boyfriend? He could only indulge him.

“You’ve never heard of Qingbai Entertainment?” Chen Chang’an used all his acting skills to show a very surprised expression, “Qingbai has only been listed for three years, and it has already received high praise in the industry. Its future is truly limitless.”

“What industry praise? It doesn’t count,” Jiang Baiqing shook his head lightly, “I only want to hear your opinion.”

“My opinion—Qingbai Entertainment is indeed doing well,” Chen Chang’an squinted his eyes and said deliberately, “If only I could meet their boss, he must be a very impressive person.”

Jiang Baiqing: … Why do I suddenly feel a bit jealous of myself?

“Ahem, if, I mean if, this person is someone close to you?” Jiang Baiqing probed, “A close… friend.”

“Oh, if it’s someone close to me… then that’s serious!” Chen Chang’an curled the corners of his mouth, “You’ve kept such a big secret from me! That’s unforgivable!”

Thus, the pressure on the movie emperor increased. How to confess to Chen Chang’an that he was the boss of Qingbai Entertainment was indeed a troublesome issue.

While filming the romantic variety show “I Really Like Him,” Chen Chang’an’s reputation was still as bad as the rotten cabbage in a vegetable market dumpster.

V “I Really Like Him” production team: Summer has arrived, whose heart is heating up again? Let’s welcome our flying guests this episode @Jiang Baiqing @Chen Chang’an, and follow them on a brand new romantic journey! [Video]

Clicking on the video, it was a short interview with Jiang Baiqing and Chen Chang’an.

The director asked, “Recently, there have been some small controversies surrounding you two. Why did you decide to participate in a romantic variety show at this time, instead of handling it cautiously in light of public opinion?”

Before Chen Chang’an could speak, Jiang Baiqing naturally took the microphone from his hand: “Because I know what kind of person he is.”

“Does participating in the show mean you don’t care about public opinion?”

“Not at all,” Jiang Baiqing denied, “I know what kind of person he is, and I hope everyone can know what kind of person he is. We hope to receive everyone’s blessings.”

“Do you two have confidence?” the director asked again.

When looking at Chen Chang’an, Jiang Baiqing’s eyes were filled with tenderness: “Of course, he’s so good, no one can dislike him.”

Jiang Baiqing had unconditional trust in Chen Chang’an, but the other people who had eaten too much gossip clearly wouldn’t feel the same, so the comments were like this—

Jiang movie emperor, no! Who? Who? Who? Who are you talking about?! Hurry and delete it! Don’t let him ruin our Jiang movie emperor!

Jiang movie emperor, wake up! Jiang uncle, weren’t you the only one talking the whole time? Did you see Chen Chang’an responding to you?

Every day, repeating eight hundred times: When will Jiang Baiqing and Chen Chang’an break up? When will Jiang Baiqing and Chen Chang’an break up? When will Jiang Baiqing and Chen Chang’an break up!?

Jiang Baiqing’s only love: Don’t worry, it’s just a romantic variety show, just a game, it doesn’t prove they are together!

Jiang Shuiweijie: What if they end up together in the romantic variety show? Chen Chang’an seems to be exactly Jiang Baiqing’s type.

Jiang Baiqing’s only love: … Everyone, just watch me clean up! Expel the fans upstairs!

Susu is doing her face again: I’m dying of laughter, one wants to play, the other wants to be played, there’s no official title, it’s their own fault for being blind and sticking to him, they’ll be sucked dry by blood-sucking Chen Chang’an sooner or later.

Protect An An: Everyone report the upstairs, thank you.

Susu is doing her face again: Oh, I’m scared of you, does Chen Chang’an still have any popularity online?

—

While everyone was passionately discussing, Jiang Baiqing and Chen Chang’an were packing their suitcases.

To be precise, Jiang Baiqing was working hard to organize, while Chen Chang’an was directing him with words and occasionally blaming him.

“Ugh, my back is really about to break, I can’t bend down at all.” Chen Chang’an hugged his clothes, thought of something, and complained angrily, “It’s all your fault, I can’t even bend down to zip up the suitcase. You clearly knew we were going to record a show, yet… you were so careless.”

“Sorry, it’s precisely because we’re going to record a show that I lost control a bit,” Jiang Baiqing put the razor into the suitcase, stood up, and gently wrapped his arms around Chen Chang’an’s waist, massaging him lightly, “Once you taste the sweetness, you can be greedy too.”

Chen Chang’an felt comfortable being taken care of by him, humming softly and falling silent, like a little cat being petted.

Jiang Baiqing chuckled softly: “Are you scared?”

“Scared of what?” Chen Chang’an didn’t understand.

“The public opinion online, the gazes of others…” Jiang Baiqing listed one by one, “We’re about to participate in the show, facing all of this, are you scared?”

“Should I be scared?” Chen Chang’an retorted, blinking, “With you here, I’m not scared of anything.”

Jiang Baiqing was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he ruffled the messy short hair of the person in front of him, his tone filled with helplessness: “Little God of Wealth, how come I didn’t notice when we first met that you’re so lovable?”

Chen Chang’an replied calmly: “Isn’t that normal? I didn’t realize you could be so contradictory when we first met either.”

“Still contradictory now? I thought I was direct enough,” Jiang Baiqing raised an eyebrow.

“A little better, but still not in sync. If what you say is one point, then your body expresses ten points,” Chen Chang’an loudly accused, his tone rising, “Just like last night, someone told me ‘just give me ten minutes,’ and in the end…”

Jiang Baiqing sealed the rest of the words with a kiss, leaving only Chen Chang’an’s muffled struggles.

“I give up,” Jiang Baiqing sighed lightly between breaths, “I promise you, next time I’ll hold back a bit.”

“Actually… you don’t have to hold back,” Chen Chang’an lowered his head in his embrace and said softly, “I think it’s quite good.”

“Just ‘quite good’?” Jiang Baiqing’s tone carried a hint of danger, pretending to be regretful, “Looks like I need to step it up.”

Chen Chang’an had a strong sense of crisis: “No, no, no, it’s very good, super good, the best in the world! No need to step it up, really not!”

Chen Chang’an was frantically scrolling in his mind: He just wanted to enjoy it, not to go down with the ship.

It must be said, the movie emperor was indeed the movie emperor, his learning ability was strong, and all the theoretical techniques that Chuan San had written about in the text, the movie emperor had earnestly studied and experimented with.

Moreover, every experiment had achieved perfect success.

Chen Chang’an raised his hand to cover his slightly flushed face, not daring to continue thinking about it.

—

Jiang Baiqing was troubled. On the way to the filming location, he learned that his ranking on the domestic rich list had risen again.

He felt that Chen Chang’an must really be the God of Wealth; otherwise, how could his career develop so quickly after they got together?

Zheng Rongyu, who had been working hard to achieve cooperation: Who is Chen Chang’an’s uncle? Are you planning to say nothing about it?

“Little God of Wealth,” Jiang Baiqing experienced the troubles of being rich for the first time, holding his forehead and calling out to the person beside him, once again trying to confess, “If one day, my identity is no longer the movie emperor, and my wealth is drastically different, would you mind?”

Chen Chang’an thought Jiang Baiqing was suddenly feeling vulnerable, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, “Don’t worry, if you’re no longer the movie emperor and become very poor, I will definitely support you.”

Jiang Baiqing was speechless—was there a possibility that he wasn’t going from rich to poor, but from rich to very rich?

Seeing Jiang Baiqing’s bad complexion, Chen Chang’an thought something had really gone wrong with Jiang Baiqing’s company, but he couldn’t say it directly, so he quickly comforted him indirectly: “Really no money? It’s okay, as the saying goes, a man becomes bad when he has money. I’m relieved if you have no money!”

“I won’t become bad,” Jiang Baiqing heard this and repeatedly pledged his loyalty, “I’ll give all my money to you, you manage it.”

“I don’t want money,” Chen Chang’an widened his eyes, “Haven’t you heard that fable?”

There really are people in the world who don’t want money, Jiang Baiqing found it strange: “What story?”

“It’s a little story I read when I was a child, about a farmer and a landlord,” Chen Chang’an didn’t realize what he was recalling, “Basically, the farmer was very poor but sang happily every day in the fields; the landlord was very rich but worried every day about his money being stolen, so he was very miserable. To be happy, the landlord gave all his money to the farmer. Then the landlord became happy, and the farmer became worried. It’s basically saying that having enough money is good, too much will cause trouble.”

This story has logic but not much, Jiang Baiqing found it amusing: “You can also be troubled by having too much money?”

Chen Chang’an touched his nose, embarrassed: “Not really, my money is usually not enough.”

Jiang Baiqing was about to speak: “Then…”

“But don’t give it to me!” Chen Chang’an waved his hand, “I just can’t control my hands; if you give it to me, I’ll spend it all.”

“Saving money doesn’t mean much, you said it yourself,” Jiang Baiqing lowered his eyes, “I’m happy to give it to you to spend.”

Chen Chang’an was worried Jiang Baiqing was being strong, and seriously stated: “Having this intention is enough; the rest doesn’t matter.”

The second confession failed, and Jiang Baiqing was even more troubled.

The two soon arrived at the filming location. Although this show was mainly about romance, most of the guests were screen couples who came to promote new works, and Jiang Baiqing and Chen Chang’an were also appearing on the show with their recently finished movie, so it wasn’t abrupt.

The main content was to stay in this guesthouse for two days and three nights, from Friday night to Sunday night, with live broadcasts throughout, accompanying the audience through a complete weekend.

When they entered, filming had already begun. Jiang Baiqing was carrying two suitcases in front, while Chen Chang’an followed behind like a little follower, holding his water bottle.

Coincidentally, the host of this show was Xu Nana, who had been tormented by the two last time.

Since it wasn’t an interview show, she didn’t need to maintain her usual sharp style. Upon seeing the two, she joked, “Long time no see, you two really ‘ruined’ me. After interviewing you, my movie’s box office was dug up and ridiculed, and the number of parody videos about me online has doubled.”

“It’s all Jiang Youchuan’s fault; he doesn’t know how to read the room,” Jiang Baiqing said without changing his expression, pushing the blame onto his brother, “I still support Teacher Xu’s film career; the future is promising.”

“You dare say that, but I can’t bear to hear it!” Xu Nana waved her hand, “I still have self-awareness, but I heard that Jiang movie emperor has great teaching talent. Since you’ve already taught Chang’an, why not teach me as well?”

Chen Chang’an interjected at the right moment, showing a set of white teeth: “Sorry, Nana Jie, he’s my hired private tutor, and he doesn’t accept outside students.”

Xu Nana laughed: “You young people are so full of tricks; no wonder you came to participate in a romantic show, you really have that capital and chemistry!”

—

While they were chatting lively, two more people entered the villa, one of whom was a familiar face to Chen Chang’an—Lu Renjia.

After finishing his role in the movie, Lu Renjia really took Chen Chang’an’s advice and became a comedian, even winning a comedy competition, and the person who came with him was his partner in the competition, named Zhao Tianhao. The two of them were set up as a pair of bickering friends, always arguing when together.

As soon as he saw Chen Chang’an, genuine tears sparkled in Lu Renjia’s eyes. He quickly walked up and gave Chen Chang’an a bear hug: “Wuwu Chang’an, you are truly my great benefactor. If you hadn’t told me I was suited to be a comedian, I would never have achieved what I have today—”

He showed no change in attitude despite the recent rumors.

“…Little Lu, although, but are you really very accomplished now?” Chen Chang’an patted Lu Renjia’s back heavily, trying to free his neck that was firmly trapped, “Stay humble and keep working hard.”

Completely oblivious, Lu Renjia said, “My annual income now is—”

Chen Chang’an, who didn’t think there was anything wrong: “What?! Higher than mine?! How did you do it, Brother Lu? Take me with you! From now on, you’re no longer Little Lu; you’re my Brother Lu! Brother Lu tells me to go east, I won’t go west; if Brother Lu hasn’t sat at the table, I won’t pick up my chopsticks!”

Jiang Baiqing certainly couldn’t lower his status to argue with a junior, but he stood by with a twitching mouth. It was Zhao Tianhao who couldn’t help but step forward to separate the two: “Lu Renjia, have you forgotten who your partner is?”

“I didn’t forget; I just don’t want to admit it,” Lu Renjia made a face at him, “If I could team up with Brother Chang’an, I’d be more than happy.”

This made Zhao Tianhao furious, and the two began to bicker.

Jiang Baiqing stood behind Chen Chang’an, his tone flat: “Brother Chang’an, are you done playing?”

For some inexplicable reason, Chen Chang’an felt a chill spreading up his spine and quickly nodded in response: “Done playing, done playing.”

“Then come back,” Jiang Baiqing said with some helplessness, “There should be another group of guests coming; don’t block their camera.”

Chen Chang’an didn’t see how he was blocking anyone’s camera, but still obediently returned to Jiang Baiqing’s side as he said.

The last pair to appear was the recently popular male and female leads of a romantic drama, a fantasy idol drama, with the male lead being aloof and the female lead being cute, looking very well-matched. Their attitude towards the other people present was relatively polite, not cold, just not warm.

Once everyone was gathered, Xu Nana began to announce the game rules: “Next, you will all spend a weekend together in this villa. In this villa, there are comfortable king/queen size bedrooms, exquisite massage rooms, and fun game rooms… but you have no money. To enter any room, you must pay a certain amount of gold coins. So, if you want to satisfy your appetite and shopping desires, and don’t want to stay in the hall all the time, you must earn gold coins through games. So, are you ready?”

“Ready!” This was Chen Chang’an, Lu Renjia, and the female lead of the fantasy drama, Yu Tiantian.

The male lead of the fantasy drama, Zhuang Renyou, and Zhao Tianhao didn’t speak, just nodded.

Jiang Baiqing was cooler, just listening without any response.

In Chen Chang’an’s words: When you get older, it’s like this, you don’t love to move.

— Unlike young people like them, cute and lively.

—

The next second, Chen Chang’an turned to Jiang Baiqing: “I’m hungry.”

Jiang Baiqing asked Xu Nana: “Can you exchange for food?”

“Only ingredients,” Xu Nana smiled and held up five fingers, “Five gold coins provide ingredients for a meal; you can specify what ingredients you want, and the kitchen tools can be used freely. How about it? Isn’t it very generous?”

“I thought you would make us start a fire by rubbing sticks together,” Chen Chang’an patted his chest, relieved.

“Not that it’s impossible,” Xu Nana added, “If you want, we can also prepare wood and flint for you, one use for one gold coin, fair and square.”

“Thank you, but I don’t want that!” Chen Chang’an quickly refused, “So what tasks do we need to do to earn five gold coins?”

“Tasks are divided into star levels, each star represents five gold coins. You can earn five gold coins by completing the simplest one-star task. But what the specific task is, you have to draw lots.”

“Sounds quite mysterious.” Lu Renjia was the first to step forward and took the one-star task lottery tube from the director’s hand, “Since that’s the case, I’ll go first!”

With a “thud,” a slip fell out of the tube, and Chen Chang’an leaned over to take a look: “‘Dare: Princess carry your partner for 30 seconds, cannot touch the ground.’ Wow, this is challenging.”

Lu Renjia was 1.75 meters tall and as thin as a bamboo pole; his partner Zhao Tianhao was a strong man at 1.88 meters. The two eloquent people looked at each other, speechless.

It was more than just challenging; the task of having Lu Renjia carry Zhao Tianhao was akin to asking the moon goddess to princess carry the Marshal of the Heavenly Pig.

After a long time, Lu Renjia finally managed to squeeze out a sentence: “…I say, can I change the task?”

Xu Nana, clearly enjoying the misfortune, said: “No, one star can only have one task; if it’s stagnant, you have to switch to another star-level task to continue.”

“Truly surrounded by enemies,” Zhao Tianhao sighed heavily.

“Haha, it seems this lottery tube has designated task executors, so it’s better not to let me draw,” Chen Chang’an learned from experience, “What if I draw the task of carrying Bai Ge? I probably wouldn’t be able to do it either.”

Lu Renjia leaned over from the side, kindly reminding: “Bro, don’t underestimate this show; what if Jiang movie emperor draws ‘be carried by your partner for 30 seconds’?”

“Don’t jinx it,” Chen Chang’an pressed Lu Renjia’s head back down, gritting his teeth, “That won’t happen.”

Jiang Baiqing was still waiting for Chen Chang’an’s instructions: “Are you drawing or am I?”

Chen Chang’an steeled himself: “You should draw.”

Seeing the resolute expression on his face, Jiang Baiqing found it amusing and ruffled Chen Chang’an’s short hair, advising, “Just wait patiently.”

Unlike Lu Renjia, who held the drawing tube and chanted “Heavenly spirits and earthly spirits” for ages, Jiang Baiqing simply reached into the tube and pulled out a slip.

Upon closer inspection, it read: “Dare: Kiss your companion without revealing the task content.”

A task that posed no challenge at all for true lovers—Jiang Baiqing smiled slightly.

Without a second thought, he turned and walked towards Chen Chang’an.

Chen Chang’an was still in a daze, trying to figure out the task: “Brother Bai, what’s the task?”

“Lift your head and cooperate,” Jiang Baiqing adhered to the game rules.

Chen Chang’an responded with an “Oh,” and naturally complied, fully trusting.

Jiang Baiqing leaned down slightly and gave Chen Chang’an’s lips a gentle kiss, a clean and restrained touch that lasted only a moment.

He even had the time to use his thumb to caress Chen Chang’an’s lip.

The challenge only required a kiss, and Jiang Baiqing generously offered a kiss that was just lips touching lips.

“Alright, go get the ingredients,” Jiang Baiqing stepped back, satisfied after admiring the moment, “That’s the task.”

“Can I order anything?” Chen Chang’an asked, meaning whether Jiang Baiqing could do it.

Jiang Baiqing answered affirmatively: “Anything.”

He completely ignored the others around them who looked as if they were thinking, “They seem to be really in love.”

Chen Chang’an went to report the ingredients to the production team, and the atmosphere became even more romantic.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Chang’an said, “Brother Bai, can we add sweet and sour ribs?”

Without hesitation, Jiang Baiqing replied, “Add it.”

Chen Chang’an hesitated: “Brother Bai, I also want to order braised pork.”

Jiang Baiqing readily agreed: “Sure.”

Chen Chang’an added, “Brother Bai, which is better, mapo tofu or spicy chicken?”

Jiang Baiqing answered, “Both.”

Chen Chang’an’s face lit up with joy; only children make choices, adults naturally want everything.

At that moment, the comments flooded in—

Chang’an Returns Home: So touching, An’an has finally met someone who will spoil him unconditionally.

Jiangshang Bai Qingqing: Our movie emperor is truly versatile! Even if Jiang Baiqing does it once, it’s the best once!

Jiang Movie Emperor is Mine: Why is the person above so adaptable? I refuse to accept Chen Chang’an as my sister-in-law!

Susu Does Her Face Again: Chen Chang’an is so disgusting, Chen Chang’an has no shame!

Qing’an Is Real: I’m not saying, but they really have the vibe of an old married couple.
